#40879 closed enhancement (duplicate)

Offer to delete permanently and not only trash, if 'MEDIA_TRASH' constant is set 'true'

Description

About trashing media, if we define 'MEDIA_TRASH', true, then why not offer actions to trash OR delete, I ask myself. Right now, you MUST use the trash then.

Attaching a patch to illustrate the idea, it surely would need more work.

Adding this would make media act differently from the rest of the Trash functionality in WordPress.

Having Trash enabled specifically forces items to be placed into the trash before they're deleted - That includes Posts, Comments, and when MEDIA_TRASH is enabled, Media too.

I'm marking this as a duplicate of #39613 as it deals with a general "Skip Trash, just delete it" functionality, however #38026 may also be of interest.
